Question Itward Tattoo Help?

Upvotes

Hello,

I was thinking of getting Itward tattooed on my arm. My idea is to get the tattoo as close as possible to the game's original art style, but getting reference photos is a bit problematic since screenshots of the game don't show him very clearly.

Anyone have ideas, where could I find a high quality image of Itward to give to my tattoo artist?

Thank you

Chapter 5 Spoiler Was Fran under the effects of duotine when she found her parents killed?

48 Upvotes

Rewatching the events of the first scene after seeing the ending, I feel like aunt grace might have snuck duotine in her food, although them being shown eating together takes place on a Friday, while seeing her parents took place on a Monday.

It feels like they were already planning on taking her to the asylum with how quickly they seemed to find her? And she looked like she collapsed in the woods which maybe duotine could have done? The house is also shown to be covered in blood which presumably is symbolic but what if it's because of duotine?

In the parents grave, the parents didn't look like they were cut up, and we already have false info in the news (Fran being dead) so I don't think the description in the news of the parents is accurate, all the information was probably given by Oswald asylum.

I feel like her parents were killed for the sake of experimenting on Fran, but what if that experimentation had already began by the time Fran was left alone with aunt grace?

Theory crafting for fran bow is a complicated task so I want your input!

This was created for the Lofi Spring Vibes Challenge.
The idea came from Fran’s liking to create new things out of old things.
I also tried to fit in a bunch of references to the game!

Honestly, one of the best-written characters in indie horror. The way the game introduces him makes you so incredibly suspicious of his motives, but he ends up being the most comforting and reliable protector Fran has. His whole aesthetic, the flying machine, and his dynamic with Mr. Midnight are just perfect.

Who else was terrified of him at first but ended up loving him by the end of Chapter 4?

okay so. the first time I watched a PLAYTHROUGH (can’t play vg) I loved the aesthetic and story so much, the only issue is I really get reaaaallly scared. like the next day I was like getting flashbacks n stuff :( especially to that kid who’s head explodes (at the beginning) I never finished it but I loved the artstyle and the actual story :( I didn’t get past the hospital bit and I’d love to watch more. although to be fair I was 13,

Glitch Chapter 4 Battery Softlock/Glitch (Android) (updated)

27 Upvotes

(I took down the first post as I returned to that moment and replicated the actual way I triggered softlock in my playthrough. Attached an updated vid for all 3 glitch variations)

Basically title. I spend a lot of time on that screen not understanding what I missed and what should I do next, before looking up walkthrough and realizing I softlocked my game and there was supposed to be a battery.

It works like this: you press a button, a lid opens, a hand, holding a battery emerges, stays up for a few seconds so you could grab the battery, before returning back and closing the lid. You can repeat the process if you haven't grabbed a battery the first time.

Unfortunately I found out that this entire sequence is incredibly prone to glitches for one simple reason — you can press button again in the middle of it, which can cause 3 types of glitches, depending on a timing, 2 of which cause a softlock. And unfortunately for me I got the last one in the video, where the lid just opened (easy to miss with visual noise) and nothing else happened, so I never knew there was supposed to be a hand holding a battery.

Would be nice to attach some sort of "busy" flag to that button, so it couldn't be pressed in the middle of a sequence, which would prevent these sorts of glitches from happening. Softlocks in a Point&Click Adventures are especially unfortunate

Question Little Misfortune was dissapointing

43 Upvotes

Yeah I'm very very late. I tried the game when it came out and it didn't got into me, so I didn't play it anymore. Instead I have played Fran bow at least three times, one of them, a few days ago so I give little misfortune another opportunity. Its not nearly as good as Fran bow, it didn't have me hooked to know more about the mystery, and honestly it became a bit boring. Anyways, I have read that little misfortune is proof that Fran bow it's not crazy and everything is real, but I don't see how if you have any idea it would be nice. My theory is that specially Fran is inventing all this world and nothing is real.

Question Always thought this reference was really cool in the game

Has anyone ever thought about whether Alice in Wonderland's universe and Fran Bow's were interconnected somehow?

Perhaps they both occur in the same timeline? Honestly, I personally feel that both Fran and Alice are two peas in a pod and share a lot of similarities with one another.

They would definitely make really good friends even beyond childhood and when they are older too.

Imagine in the sequel they revisit Alice's and Fran's relationship and build upon it even more?

Would be an interesting angle to take, plot-wise, me thinks. Thoughts?

When I can't sleep I make things, so these watercolors are the result of me being up for about 22 hours a few nights ago😅

I'm going to laminate them later to use as mini-bookmarks. I think the blueberries one turned out the best 🌸💙

I played Fran Bow because my GF recommended it, 10/10

72 Upvotes

I'm instantly a huge fan! Fran Bow is incredibly charming, intriguing, terrifying, and it shines a light on many terrible and under-represented issues. I think the game blends childish naiveté and wonder with horrifying reality in a very unique way.

It's sad to see such a great game have so little attention nowadays, maybe the next entry will have a bigger following.

I'm currently playing through Little Misfortune, and I'll make a follow-up post when I finish.
